The Cubans,French,Brits,and Croations have no problem flying their flags…
The many nations helping Haiti recover from the devastating earthquake that struck there have set up their own military compounds and fly their flags at the entrances.
France’s tricolor,Britain’s Union Jack and even Croatia’s coat of arms flap in the breeze.
But the country whose contributions dwarf the rest of the world’s — the United States — has no flag at its main installation near the Port-au-Prince airport.
The lack of the Stars and Stripes does not sit well with some veterans and servicemembers who say the U.S. government should be proud to fly the flag in Haiti,given the amount of money and manpower the U.S. is donating to help the country recover from the Jan. 12 quake.
The Obama administration says flying the flag could give Haiti the wrong idea.
"We are not here as an occupation force,but as an international partner committed to supporting the government of Haiti on the road to recovery,"the U.S. government’s Haiti Joint Information Center said in response to a query about the flag.
The absence of the American flag bothers Navy veteran Arthur Herriford,national president of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association.
"It’s very improper,"Herriford said. "Our military people always engage and function under the American colors — always have and always will."

He doesn't care as he isn't a veteran and is not a US citizen or he would care enough to fly the flag and not be bashing the United States to anyone who would listen. If he likes bashing the United States so much let him go live with his Arab brothers in Iraq and leave us be.
You stupid freaking human (are you human). He is a US citizen,already PROOOOOVED over and over and over again! He never has bashed the United States.

Redtucker,you have spoken the voice of millions of True Americans. Thanks much.
I believe he actually hates America. He must. He is hell bent on destroying our image to the world.
couldn't desstroy it any more than freaking bushhole did.
Ray,I am not really interested in what our image is around the world. We need to start taking care of ourselves. Obama is an embarrassment to every true American in this country. I say to hell with what they think,do you go through your life worrying what everyone thinks of you? I sure don't.
Obamadinejad has woke up and found he is on the wrong continent,he wishes he could be subject to slavery,his fondest dreams involve his children wearing manacles. He wishes he could treat his wife like they do in Islam nations,beat her for not asking him if she could get a drink of water. Recently someone asked how anyone could repeat such bad rumors about such an intelligent,honest decent man. My question was;how could an intelligent,honest decent man not believe all that has been said and more. He has visited 57 states and has a couple more to go,he sees corps men all over the place,he thinks we live in the greatest nation on earth,and he asked us to join him to change it. And if they pass his health care bill our employers cost for health insurance is going to drop 3,000 per cent. 100 PER CENT IS EVERYTHING IT COSTS so…. 3,000 must mean the insurance company is going to insure us and pay our employer for letting them to do so.
If Anys Obammy was a decent honest human being he would reveal his birthing and writings and more…He is a lying black which in the long run will give his Muslim ethnicity a bad name…An affirmative action "SVUGGIE"
This move confirms that "OOO"is an enemy of America and a friend of all our enemies. Every day this man in the oval office is doing jihad to our economy and everything he can get his hands on. He needs to be swiftly removed from office. He hates America with every move he makes.
IMPEACH "OOO"SOON IN 2010.

economy is healing after bushhole. IT'S BETTER NOW!!!!!!!! FREAKING HILLBILLY
This America-hating moron and his Amerixcca-hating partner as well as the Wright idiot are a national disgrace. Obama would rather fly the flag of his native Indonesia as he panders tp his fellow muslims and dictators(Chavez,Castro,et all). When shall we be able to impeach this idiot and be rid of him. Unfortuantely Biden is just as stupid but at least Biden is a patriot whose son served in Iraq. It is absolutely nauseating to watch this pompous incompetent Obama with his grand publicity tours thruout the country he despise and teh American people for whom he has no regard–as he lives in unaccustomed luxury in the White House at taxpayer expense while millionbs of our American citizens struggle to make ends meet.
Sheldon,just because Joe's son serves in our military does not make Joe more American than Obama. If Biden can serve with Obama then he is as low as Obama. Remember what your mother used to tell you? You are judged by company you keep. Always remember that Sheldon.
Indonesia,you freaking moron. Goddddddamn,your not even a hillbilly,your a hillybilly. They live higher up in the Appalachia you know,LOL.
Obama has shown gross disprespect for this country too many times. This is just the latest slap in the face. He is not representing this country the way he should. He should be ashamed of himself. As the wife,daughter,and mothers of veterans;I am saddened and angered
I am sadened and angry as well. What terrible time for our country,I feel like it is 9/11 all over again.
BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA is hell bent on destroying American principles,morality,and our way of life. Obama will not give up till the people of the United States are living like the mud people in his naive Kenya. The worst thing is. he is doing it with the aquiesence of the peple of the United States,who have been shamed into thinking they owe the world everything because Americans HAD life to good. Obama is overseeing the destruction of America.
Obama is a disgrace to the American people that have made this the greatest country in the world. He should go live with the Arabs he seems to love and bow down to;and stop bashing America all over the world.
Obama is a poor excuse for a president of the US.
I'm sure glad I didn't believe all his campaign lies. I would be ashamed to show my face if I had voted for this lying traitor.
AMEN Joe,and amen to that
There are rough and scary times coming to America and they are coming at the hands of obama and the democrats,although President Bush let us down as well. We must stand strong,and set the example,WE all know and WE all knew WHAT obama Was BEFORE he stole the election. No one would listen and now that leaves us to clean up and protect those who just were to BLIND TO SEE.
GOD HELP US ALL.
We need to get rid of this idiot already!
Obama is an imposter whose sole aim is to take this nation down —I blame not him,but those who were so blind and uninformed —who were so dazzled by his persona that they were deceived into voting for him and those already in Congress who allowed him to conceal his true idenity–who failed to demand his credentials. and apply the litmus test required by all predecessors.
There has been no doubt in my mind from his first speech that he is a radical Muslim hater of this nation —dedicated to becoming a dictator of this country. One look at his arrogant face is all-revealing of his scorn for this nation.
My soul weeps for the honorable blood shed for this nation which has now been polluted by the spittle of such as he.
Blame the guilted whites for placing this person where he is..The churches,our educational institutions,the politicians at all levels,the socialist media,socialists and communists at all levels within our society. Those that have brow beat Whites into submission…When in our creators name are "WHITE"people going to stand up and not take the guilt and take back their country??? Will they have the "COHONES"to stand up and speak out and tellit like it is..??
The longer that Maobama is allowed to remain in the White House the more damage he is going to do to the country.I say impeach not only him but all of his administration as well as the majority of congress.The biggest problem with the system can be traced to the fact that the majority of those in power are attorneys!! What do you have if you have an attorney up to his neck in sand? Not enough sand!!
I just sent a comment to this site and offered my Garrison flag to Haiti . I have the ability to find a flag for the guys down there and am willing to send it. Obama can piss off,lets take care of it ourselves guys. I swore an oath to this great country,did my time and am still willing to walk the walk for America. I am so sick of this guy screwing things up,it's time to side step him and take back control of our country.
From a proud Vietnam Veteran who is still ready to die for my country!
Rusty,AMEN,God bless you for your service,from a military mother,wife and daughter. I am mad,damned mad!!
Linda
To Linda and Old Woman,
Thank you ladies for the kind words,we could have used some of those when we came home instead of being spit at and called names,attacked etc. A lot of us really got our feelings hurt and some took it so bad they didn't survive the homecoming. It tore my heart out at the time. At least our kids coming back now are getting special treatment and honor for all they do. It helps to restore my faith in our country.
God bless you both and ,God Bless America!
Rustytruck;
Welcome home and thank you for your service!

It deeply saddens me that our military who work so hard to protect us,can not display the American flag. I think Obama's excuse is a crock of bull. Our Country should be embarassed that he is our President. And we should work on getting rid of this Muslim,American hater as quickly as possible. I agree with Evelyn that he is a imposter. American's please wake up and lets start taking action against this dictator!
THAT FILTHY ILLEGAL ALIEN IMPOSTER AND HIS WIFE HATE OUR FLAG ENOUGH TO HAVE ATTENDED SEVERAL FLAG BURNINGS OF THE STARS AND STRIPES IN THE PAST!! THIS IS A SELF DOCUMENTED FACT BY HIM. SO,THAT WOULD BE PART OF THE ORDER ON NO DISPLAY OF OUR FLAG. OUR FORCES IN HAITI,SHOULD GIVE HIM THE FINGER AND HOIST OLD GLORY TOMORROW!!! SCREW THE TRAITOROUS OBAMA!!
I am so glad people are opening their eyes to what is going on. Obama is EVIL and even worse than that. He wants to destroy our great country he is declaring war on the American People . Don't believe he is a US citizen and should be made to produce his records stat. God Bless America
It seems like our flag must not mean much to him. A very sad thing to see in a President. It gives me a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach…to think we have a President who does not love his country.
For me it is almost 9/11 everyday in this country,we are being attack by one Muslim every single day!!
Oregon Country Girl—the flag means nothing to obama and he hates this country. His campaign has been nothing but one big lie,and obama is the biggest fraud and most corrupt person in politics! he will go down as the WORST president in the history of this great country! i bet most of the idiots who voted for this anti-american muslim are regretting it now! Second term? NO WAY!! Vote out every stinking person who voted for this health care plan! Whats next? Still Cap&Trade,The B.S. global warming scam and making citizens of MILLIONS of ILLEGALS that are bank rupting our states with their welfare programs. The people in government are so corrupt and self greedy that they do not know what ILLEGAL means! WE must take back OUR country and get rid of all the socialist,markist,progressive commies in office today!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
It strikes me that he may not want to fly the flag because he doesn't want America singled out and recognized as a great,generous nation. But,would rather we be just like everyone else. Or,maybe he's purposefully trying to demoralize our troops.
Obama is a complete fraud–his cover up of his past is proof that he was not born in our country–the people who are really to blame are the 52% of voters in Nov 2008 and the American Jews who funded more than 50% of his campaign money!!!
Don't forget the blacks who think he walks on water!
Righ,the American Jews and now he is stirring up relations with Israel! I wonder if they will learn a lesson about this traitor?
Right on Charles Edwards…The ethnicity you mention have been doing this since the beginning of time…One example…Go back and read about the Red Scare of the 1920's in this country..They get what they want by constantly stirring the pot with turmoil…Control…
George Soros,Baron De Rotheschild,Bill Ayres,Saul Alinsky,Axelrod,Larry Summers,Geitner,Rahm a-hole Emanuel and the majority of those he has selected are of the same controlling ethnicity of which has been spoken of previosly…That and blacks,arabs or latinos. Go fiqure..The fact is they win even when they lose…Control…
When our tax dollars are spent,and our nations defense forces are deployed to conduct official business or missions throughout the world we need to display our flag proudly. The American people collectively should be outraged. It is our money,not the presidents…It is our flag,not the presidents…It is our sons and daughters,not the presidents…
Amen Steve!!
"Law Enforcement"is the great enabler for this swill. They bow and scrape before their Masters and then do whatever they're told. I thank God every time he removes another of them from office.
One of these comments stated that:"At least Biden is a Patriot". I care to strongly disagree,if he were Obama would not be the President,he as well as any and all Patriots in Congress and the Senate would demand a birth certificate and not have allowed this filthy rotten varmint to become the President of this nation. Wake up America,there truly is a very well orchestrated effort taking place to destroy this Country and it is working from the top down. Pelosi,Reid,Obama,all three are America hating zealots and they have many many cohorts in both houses and the entire Administration for that matter to complete their plan. I pray God that they are rooted out very soon. Patriots of this Great Nation,the time has come that fence setters have to take a clear and decisive stand and oppose the destruction NOW!!!!!!!!
Your comments are kind of amusing –don't you know that elections have consequences? Aren't you all traitors,for speaking disrespectfully of our President…? And in a time of war,no less? What was your opinion of those who criticized your great hero,Dubya…?
Obama is our Commander-in-Chief! He lives in the White House,with his wife Michelle,and his daughters,Sasha and Malia. And they're all African Americans –I know that's the part that hurts you so much.
Losers.
No,actually it's his policies stupid BTW I didn't vote for Bush either time so your racism holds no water with me.
What a shame for this obama not fying our Color in haiti .With all the money and
manpower we are providing ,we the american people should be proud of it.
Unlike Obama,who I believe is anti american and a full pledge muslim.
I can't beleive how stupid the American people are –they voted for this clown! They were warned –Terrorist ties,Soclist friends,and of course who can forget the Reverand "G. D. America"Wright. Have you ever heard the phrase "Birds of a feather,stick togather"? Our country is now run by a bunch of Socialist –no that's too kind "Communists"! Wake up America and smell the bull dung!
I agree with everyone,but I want to add that we are forgetting that they all work for us. It doesn't make sense that they are getting all the goodies,better health insurance,better retirement,etc…Long terms in office….it's time we put a stop to all that. It's rediculous. I don't know how to do that but if enough people (millions) got together….got them out of office and put some regular (if there are any) Flag loving,freedom fighting men in there. I say men because look at Pelosi,Mishelle,the female of the species looks pretty bad….
A few years back,the President of Iran state in a public statement that the Iranian people and himself would destroy the United States from within..
Now to me that sound as if he would use the American people own rules and laws to destroy by saying destray from within.
WELL HE IS DOING EXACTLY AS HE SAID WITH OBAMA IN OFFICE.
Obama a muslim is destroying the United States a little at a time and he must be removed from office before he gets to many of his civilian army togeather to become a dictator in 2012 and refuses to step down from office
While I agree to much of the comments I have read concerning the Muslim American hating pseudo president Obama and I believe is one of several just grounds on which he should be physically removed from the office he has illeegally obtain by defrauding the Stupid citizens of this once great Republic,I think that,We,as a Nation as Great as we once were before Obama do not need to advertise that Greatness. The fact that we are there helping is the only flag we need to raise. Charity is Best done in secret. May we as American kneel and bless God for this Great Nation and give honor to that great I Am.
Obama is a coward who wouldn,t and won,t fight for this country. A country he despises. He is after all,a non-citizen who lied his way into the Presidency. He would like nothing better than to destroy this country. He needs to be impeached and thrown out before he completely destroys everything this country stands for.
Get word to obama that it is a disgrace to the U S not to fly our flag
This is just one more instance of the little o putting America last.This poor excuse for a man,let alone a president,will not rest until he destroys the country he hates.God and the American people will not rest until the little o resides in Hades.
Hey Bill! I am now refering the current occupant of the White House as "the 0,"that's 0 for zero!!
Amen!
Your comments are kind of amusing –don't you know that elections have consequences? Aren't you all traitors,for speaking disrespectfully of our President…? And in a time of war,no less? What was your opinion of those who criticized your great hero,Dubya…?
If you can call MY President Dubya I can call YOUR president "the 0."That's 0 for zero……..
Our precious flag offends Marxists and their minnions,dontcyaknow.
First of all,I'd like to thank all the veterans who have put their lives on the line in dangerous places to defend this country. You've done what I couldn't do:take up arms in defense of this great nation. Obama makes me sick. To all the mis-informed people who voted him in:how's that hopey-changey thing workin for ya? I for one don't plan on allowing this government to run my life. Besides all the other tricks he's pulled,now he's ashamed to fly our flag in Haiti….go figure. To all the "I hate America"crowd:America isn't perfect,but it's a whole lot better than Europe or Canada. God Bless America and God Bless Our Troops! You guys really rock!
This usurper isn't even a citizen so why should he be proud of our flag? This "man"is an abomination &should be impeached immediately before this country is completely ruined.
OBAMA is the most disgraceful person to ever live in the White House. Notice I didn't say President or Commander in Chief? The idiot is out to ruin and bash the United States. I served my country from 63-71 and never thought I would see our president bow to another leader. Our president bows to no-one or apologizes to no one. He couldn't command as he has never been commanded. He's not even a citizen! If he was why doesn't he put the issue to rest and present the proof that he is? He needs to be removed from office expeditiously before he runs this country down more than he already has. Sen him and his America hating lying wife back to the muslims he is so proud of. WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE IT'S TO LATE and lets get rid of this traitor.
Why is this corrupt,lying,anti-American POS muslim still in office? All the unconstitutional acts he has already pulled should have his unamerican butt in Gitmo! The best health care in the world and this wanna-be dictater is doing his best to destroy it along with this country if he can not bank rupt us first. when asked if he would use this health care plan instead of what he has now he completely ignored the question. Plus Congress voted they are 100% exempt from this new plan…….good for us but not them??? How much of obamas pay,book deals and his B.S. peace prize money is/has been "spread the wealth"given or are they all excempt from that to? If obama does not like this country or "our"flag,put him on the next plane [with very little fuel] to Kenya and shove all his hidden records where the sun doesn t shine!!!
Is there not one Patriot out there who is willing to expose
Obama's past? Someone has information to sink this
Presidency. Secrecy,Lies and subtrefuge cover him.
Congress protects him. Why….?
If all is legitimate,there would be no need for this cover up,
which apparently reaches into the very soul of our system.
There is more…..much more to learn. Someone,somewhere
holds the key and the proof of his identity and his past.
There is a reason why this is being suppressed and hidden.
You love America? Please risk saving her from this current
agenda to erase our system and replace it with his brand
of "Fundamental change"which is Fundamentally associated
with Slavery that silences dissent and makes you the provider
for your enemies. Socialist/Communist/Marxist call it what
you will,but don't call it Freedom!
Obama clearly hates this Country. Problem is the people of this country are too stupid to see the truth. A 3rd grader can figure out this guy is destroying the country. Get the word out to any that have ears.
For years our state Department has been bringing thousands of people from African and Middle Eastern nations,most of whose children have never even held a pencil,according to our state school system. Then we have tens of thousands hopping the southern border who are poor and uneducated. ALL of these people are willing to do anything to have healthcare,security,food,and shelter. Most will believe whatever these twisted crazed socialist liberals tell them,and believe me this is the thorn in our asses. I am not against these people. But seems to me our government has been purposely saturating the country with people who suck expensive services for which American taxpayers pay and pay and pay. We're being balkanized economically,culturally,and religiously. It's a no win situation. All they have done is saddled us with people who need welfare. And by the way,some of them have returned to be trained in Yemen fto attack this country.. And they'll do it on our dime and an American Passport.
IT'S CALLED MARGINAL SUBSTITUTION FOR TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT. Buy a book and read it! Get educated. Maybe you won't have to rub those little plastic widgets for hours on end.
That's why unemployment is high while the economy is growing. GDP can only grow right now with tech advancement. There is a ratio of capital and labor. Type of capital and type of labor. ARE YOU DIZZY YET? Read a book.
so how good is your sister?????? LOL
HEY George H. W. Bush took down the flag in Kuwait also. TRAITOR!!!
